I'm so fucking pissed, I don't even know where to begin. I guess I'll start with how I got the job: good ol' nepotism. I have an idiot family member who volunteered me for a job vacancy at the same stupid place he works without my permission. He told my parents, and they bullied me into sending my résumé and contact information. I repeatedly said I had no interest in working there, but I was pestered until I gave in. Immediately after sending the email with my information, I was told to meet some guy for an interview. That surprised me because I've been applying for jobs, and NONE of those companies contacted me within literal minutes after applying. This struck me as a potential red flag. I go in for the interview, not even knowing what the fuck the job is, thinking I probably won't get hired because my…

I have been stuck between jobs since December waiting for my college to finish the hiring process and get me started at the IT desk when I finally started today, I was really really excited to be working in the feild I want a career in until just now when I actually ran the numbers and realized… I can't fuckin afford to work this job… working 20 hour weeks (about as much as I can work being a full time college student) on minimum wage I litterally cannot pay the only 2 bills I have (litterally just my car payment and insurance) I live at my fuckin parents and I still can't pay my bills like this what the fuck!?!? I was so excited over this job and was under the impression I'd be making around 15 an hour but when I asked my manager he said I'm prolly making…

Tried posting on r/legaladvice but thought I’d ask here as well. Looking for legal advice on a situation that’s been happening with my mom at her current job. She has been working for a friend these last two years and at first everything was good, they’d opened a new store together and while her friend who we can call Sarah funded the money to start the store up while my mom ran all day to day operations at the store. So the last year has not been so good. She’s been failing to purchase new clothes and not paying wages on time almost every pay period to my mom. It got to the point that my mother had to use her own credit cards to buy more clothes to fill up the shelves, which Sarah promised to pay her back “once the store made more money.” She also told my…

I already had to wait 5 days. And I get to the appointment. I received a text saying my appointment was an hour later than I thought I scheduled. Ok. Cool I'll kill an hour. I walk in and the receptionists look at me like I'm lying when I said that I got a text that said my appointment was an hour later. I showed it to them. And she apologies and says I have to be rescheduled to the 5th. So now it'll be like 10 days I've had to wait, being uncomfortable. I got in my car and cried. I was jipped out of my appointment by a fuck up from their auto-generated confirmation shit… I wasted an eighth of a tank of gas just diving in circles. I got shit done. And it's not like the doctors give a flying fuck.

Our managers have keep mentioning “overtime” is available, as we are struggling to keep on top of our patients. Yet they won’t actually pay us the overtime wage! They want to pay us our regular wages! Yeah nooo… HARD PASS!

(In the UK) Applied for a job in a nursing home (it’s a chain of nursing homes in the north). Heard good things but I’m now on my 9th shifts and I absolutely hate hate hate it. The senior is nasty and someone who works there used to bully my sister (to the point she got signed off) and is now trying to ‘pick on’ me. Failed to give us proper PPE and didn’t tell us about covid positive residents. I’m off with covid at the moment (isolating and currently on day 1) my return date is just before payday so with a sick day and isolation that should take me to payday. They said they’d deduct the cost of my DBS and uniform from my pay check if I leave in the first year but I’m wearing a second hand uniform and they didn’t pay for me to have…

Obligatory I’m on mobile and also new to this sub, so I apologize if this doesn’t fit. This is half vent-half advice needed I work at a very small company (less than 50 employees) I’m probably one of the youngest there (believe only two other coworkers are younger than me) It’s family run, with said family being Christians. That in itself doesn’t bother me, what does bother me is whenever we have a company wide meeting (usually with food provided) They often lead a ‘prayer’ beforehand. They don’t ‘force’ us to participate, but it is done without and prior warning. This makes me extremely uncomfortable, especially being a queer woman who was raised (and eventually left) Catholic. But I also don’t feel comfortable bringing it up since all the higher ups (including our HR) is in the family. Their are other grievances I have at my current workplace (working on…

originally posted r/nursing and was encouraged to repost here I’m a case manager in a level 2 trauma hospital. It’s the busiest hospital in the city at this time. I’ve been working with this hospital for 7 years. Started in telemetry, became charge nurse and the last 2 years I’ve done case management. Last year, with 9 months of experience I left for a travel job. My director let me stay as prn at that time and refused to take my resignation letter. I came back despite being offered an extension at travel job. I missed home too much. Ever since I’ve been on a rollercoaster ride. I’ve trained new people/contract nurses, became a float with the promise of weekends. Then weekends were removed. Then they didn’t want me to float anymore. So then I was the case manager for a med/surg floor where all our complex cases ended up.…

She’s safe in Poland now. Her boss texted her last night when she’ll be ready to come to work
